A miracle took place. Darren who did not speak for years due to the stroke spoke up!Caroline and Sonya burst into tears. They were in disbelief.Then, Chad took out a scalpel and lightly made an incision at the spot where the needle was inserted.As the incision was made, the end of the needle was taken out.Around the needle, was a tiny white worm. That worm was so tiny it was almost invisible to the naked eye!Chad finally exhaled after seeing the worm."Thankfully, this worm didn't take his life!"Unexpectedly, Darren made a turn on his own.After all, he did not move around for several years. His body was rather weak and he exhausted his energy from just turning his body over.Looking at the near-invisible worm on the needle, Darren was furious."Dad, you've finally recovered!"Sonya saw her father turning his body on his own and burst into tears.For the past few years, Sonya and Caroline suffered immensely.When they saw Darren recover, they thought all of that was
Harry Walt, one of the most popular people in the Walt family from Century City, was the most renowned lawyer in the country.He stood at the door, and behind him was an old man with gray hair dressed in a suit.Before the door was opened, Harry said to the old man respectfully, "Mr. White, please do as we've discussed."Robert White was an acclaimed neurologist."Mr. Walt, don't worry. Live or die, it all depends on the patient!"Harry nodded in relief. The door opened.It was Caroline. "Harry, why are you here?"As they spoke, she let the two of them into the hall. Harry was straightforward."Caroline, I brought Mr. Robert White, a famous neurologist to treat Darren."Caroline glanced at the closed bedroom and said, "He's still resting. Can you wait for a while?"In the bedroom, Darren was indeed resting. At the same time, Chad did dry needling recovery treatment for him.The conversation from the living room could be heard clearly in the bedroom.With his eyes closed,
"Darren, wake up! Darren!"Caroline's cry echoed from the room. Harry and Robert heard and breathed a sigh of relief.After all, none of them wanted to murder even if the subject person was in a vegetative state that was bedridden for years.At the balcony, Sonya held the urge to cry and hid at the balcony with Chad while eavesdropping.Harry and Robert entered the bedroom.Robert did a brief check on Darren and confirmed his death.Harry looked at Darren's body, feeling like a weight was taken off his shoulders. He comforted Caroline. "Caroline, I'm sorry. Please take care!""Harry, it's okay. I've thought about it for a long time. I knew this day would come, sooner or later. It's good that he's gone. It's a relief."Then, she started cleaning up Darren's remains.Harry helped as everyone remained in silence.After changing Darren into a suit, Caroline said, "I'll give Sonya a call and tell her to come home. Darren said he didn't want to be cremated."So we've bought a ce
Without a thought, Chad said, "I'm not in the Hall of Herbs. You can just tell me if there's anything.""Dr. Jennings, I heard you have great skills. I greatly admire you and I'd like to treat you to a meal."Before Chad could reject the invitation, Harry even told him the appointment venue."I'll await your arrival this evening, Dr. Jennings!"After hanging up, Chad slightly frowned and glanced at Darren's remains."Better not keep his body at home!"Sonya wanted to ask the reason but Caroline quickly responded, "Are they going to report on us?"Chad kept quiet. After all, burial was not permitted at that time.Once Darren's death was made known, the authorities would immediately come to the house and enforce the cremation of the body."Then what if the Walt family asked why we buried him in a hurry?"Caroline's concern made the situation chaotic. Sonya simply had an idea."Just tell them that the authorities from the neighborhood requested us to cremate Dad. We didn't ha
"Nope. It's only been a few hours."Chad said as he lightly twisted a few needles.Darren was perplexed. Before he asked, Chad explained, "I asked for a favor from my friend to get me an unclaimed body and got buried on your behalf."The morgues at crematoriums were used to store the bodies of people who died due to accidents.Some bodies were left there without even being claimed by their families.Through Fentanyl, Chad got such a body to trick Harry and Robert."Stay here at my place for a few days. We'll see when you're almost recovered."Chad then removed all the needles.Darren was utterly grateful. "Thank you, Chief Jennings!"Chad chuckled. "What Chief. I'm just an ordinary man."Darren smiled and teased him, "Out of the 99 doctors in the Mystic Pavilion, there's only one of the greatest. Eight years ago, the organization suddenly emerged and shook the medical industry. Chief Jennings, how are you an ordinary man?"Chad forced a smile. "Rest well. Call me if you need
Chad's and Matilda's divorce became outspread in Bloomington over the past two days.He heard many remarks of that such. Chad could not be bothered by those people and continued talking to the attendant."My reservation's at Sunny Winterland."After making verification, the attendant allowed Chad in. "Sir, this way please."As Chad was about to enter the restaurant, a handsome man stood before him."Don't go! Chad, I haven't seen my classmate for years. I wonder if you remember me!" "Sorry, I don't know you. Please get out of my way."Chad looked at the man and he was certain he did not know him."You may not know him. But I'm sure you know me!"Jojo walked up to the man and held his arm. "This is my boyfriend, Joe Willow. I'm sure you're no stranger to that name.""Joe Willow?"Suddenly, Chad recalled the man standing in front of him as the most handsome guy in Bloomington College.During their college years, Joe once pursued Matilda.However, Joe was a complete scumba
However, Chad remained silent, unwilling to explain anything. Bob also felt uninterested. He exchanged a glance with Joe, deciding to wait until more people arrived before teasing Chad. So Bob changed the subject. "Hey, have you heard? Danton from the Tatum Supreme Group has passed away!"Jojo was shocked. "How is that possible? I saw him yesterday."Joe chimed in, "Yeah! On our way here, Jojo mentioned she was discussing a partnership with Danton yesterday."Bob asserted confidently, "Is that so? But Danton died last night. My cousin is Gerard's secretary, so it is absolutely true."Now Jojo was unsettled. "No way! Why don't I remember anything?"How could she remember? Jojo woke up this morning and found herself already at the company.She asked Matilda how they got back. Matilda only mentioned that Bill from Sangrea Group gave them a ride back."Really? Could it be related to Danton's death… ""Stop that! Matilda and I were just discussing a partnership with Danton."Seei
"There's no Dr. Jennings here, but there's a Dr. Loser!" Joe joked as he glanced at Chad, feeling that Violet must have got the wrong place.Meanwhile, Bob saw that Violet's gaze had been on Chad since they entered the room. However, he could not believe it. After all, Chad was his college classmate. He was certain that Chad definitely was not any kind of 'doctor'! Moreover, back in college, only a few students took out student loans, and Chad was one of them. In the eyes of these people present, Chad back then was just a poor graduate without any family background!"Chad couldn't possibly be some kind of doctor. You must have come to the wrong place!""Hey, young lady, you're not looking for a Dr. Freeloader, are you?"The remark elicited laughter from the crowd. However, Violet ignored these remarks and went straight to Chad, speaking respectfully, "Dr. Jennings, Mr. Pulmano is waiting for you at the Golden Glasshouse. Please grace us with your presence."Everyone could not be
As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real
Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How
Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if
Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar
Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin
A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the
Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess
Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl
"You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along. Chad saw hundreds of children with autism there!Before entering the
